Leaders in Care

The Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Children’s Health is a leader in the treatment and care of pediatric gastrointestinal conditions. We are at the forefront of research into new treatments for digestive and nutrition problems in infants, children and adolescents. We are also one of the founding members of ImproveCareNow, a national pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) quality-improvement collaborative.

Therapeutic Endoscopy

We are among the handful of hospitals in the country offering therapeutic endoscopy, which the physicians who practice at Children’s Health use to diagnose pancreatic malformations and biliary disease. Our Gastroenterology Division’s Therapeutic Endoscopy Unit even developed a special balloon procedure to diagnosis digestive problems in children. With our one-of-a-kind endoscopy simulator we can teach doctors around the country how to master the procedure as well.

Medical Staff

We have the resources to present a diversity of specialists to diagnose and treat digestive and nutritional conditions in infants, children and adolescents from every possible angle.

Beyond our leading-edge technology, the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Children’s Health is nationally recognized because of our multi-specialty team of experts.
